In the very heart of Florence, suspended in time along the storied Ponte Vecchio, our boutique stands as a sanctuary of beauty, heritage, and enduring refinement.

For over a century, we have been devoted to the pursuit of excellence in Antique and Estate Jewellery, Fine Watches, Silver, and rare Works of Art - each piece chosen not only for its intrinsic value, but for the history, craftsmanship, and soul it carries. Our gallery has long been a destination for an international clientele of collectors, connoisseurs, and aesthetes, establishing itself as one of Florence’s most distinguished points of reference in the world of high antiquarian jewellery and art.

Our origins date back to the late nineteenth century, when the family settled in Florence and opened its prestigious shop on the Ponte Vecchio - an address that would soon become synonymous with rarity and discernment.

Adolfo Melli, great-grandfather of Caterina, elevated the house to an international level, cultivating relationships across Europe and beyond, and earning the trust of noble and royal families, whose legacy remains woven into the history of the maison

This heritage was preserved and refined by Gustavo Melli, Caterina’s grandfather, who transmitted not only knowledge, but a profound sensibility for beauty and authenticity - values that continue to define our identity.

Today, Caterina Pasquinucci, together with her husband Fabio Bernardo and their son Duccio, carries this legacy forward within the historic boutique at 44r Ponte Vecchio.

Here, tradition is not preserved as memory alone, but lived each day through a continuous dialogue between past and present. Each jewel, each object, becomes part of a greater narrative - one that has captivated generations of clients from all over the world. A place where time does not pass, but deepens.
